Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Esophageal cancer still remains a challenging disease worldwide despite the advances in the diagnosis and treatment. Resectable esophageal malignancy is currently treated through a multimodal and individualized approach consisting of perioperative chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy and radical surgical resection. Evolution of the diagnostic tools available through artificial intelligence is a promising field, whereas minimally invasive surgical techniques aim to improve the perioperative outcomes. Furthermore, the investigation of the pathologic response to the perioperative therapies is also gaining popularity in the literature.
This Special Issue will focus on the current challenges in the diagnosis of the disease including new insights in radiomics, the role of the pathologist in the evaluation of the response to treatment as well as the evolving technical modalities regarding the surgical treatment options.
